In 2015, PHIVOLCS released the Valley Fault System Atlas, a collection of detailed large-scale maps that illustrates the areas that are near an earthquake fault.
The VFS is composed of two segments: the East Valley Fault running through Rizal, and the West Valley Fault, running through Bulacan, Rizal, Metro Manila, Cavite, and Laguna.

In case of a magnitude 7.2 earthquake from the West Valley the fault, 31,000 to 33,500 people could die, according to estimates based on previous studies conducted by PHIVOLCS in partnership with the the Metro Manila Development Authority, Japan International Cooperation Agency, and Geosciences Australia.
The study also estimates the cost of rehabilitation at around P1.8 to 2.3 trillion.
